Elongation at Break (EaB) variation in bionanocomposites with AgNP concentration. EaB is a measure of a material’s ability to stretch or deform before breaking, for which hard plastics, such as PLA, typically have a low elongation at break, indicating that they are relatively inflexible and brittle. Flexible plastics such as agar-based composites typically have a higher elongation at break, indicating higher elasticity before breaking [60,61].
